Hi,

I think issue is with wrong backup id which is being used for backup restore. as per the screen shot i think 3rd part backup tool was used. I would suggest take file system backup from source HANA system then use the same in backup restore it will work.

Hello Hariom,

Yes you are right third Party backup device was used, if i understand you correctly do you mean we should copy the backup from Third Party device to the Server and try whether it will resolved the issue. if that is what you mean the challenge here is the storage space we have on the server might not be enough to contain the backup as well. i will be glad if you clarify me. Thanks for your support

Hi Kanayochukwu,

your error is explained in KBA 2468343 and deals with naming conventions.
Please also check this SAP help.

Cheers,

Hi Kanayochukwu,

Yes, first create one mount point on source server with enough space then take backup locally in that mount point and NFS that mount point on target server and restore that local file system db backup from that mount point.

It will resolve the issue.

Hello Hariom,

Let me give you a background of this issue, My server hard drive crashed and i left with SAP data base back which is backed up in an external storage device. Then we hard to buy new Hard drive for the server and install new SUSE OS. after which i install the HANA DB and start my system copy set the backup part and every thing then when it get to execution stage it will throw that error backup ID
